The new facility has a more spacious terminal; more modern electronics for instrument landings; a longer runway that can be lengthened in the future; and more space for private hangars for general-aviation planes. Consultants hired by the city project that, within 10 years, the annual revenue generated by the airport will grow from $19 million to $120 million. They say the increase will come not only from more flights, but from businesses expected to build on several hundred acres adjacent to the airport. Salt Lake Tribune
